Twitchcon

Twitch’s popularity has exploded since its introduction in 2011. The live streaming site that lets gamers show the world what they’re playing has amassed millions of followers and grown its own subculture in the industry. It has made stars out of average players and helped foster the growth of eSports. So what’s the next step for the company? It’s holding a convention called TwitchCon from Sept. 25 to 26 at the Moscone West center in San Francisco.

The company touts it as the “first ever convention dedicated to Twitch’s community of partners, broadcasters and viewers.” The event will offer panels and workshop to educate broadcasters and viewers.
